Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in interlacing apparatus for multifilamentary yarns, and more particularly to an improved configuration for the yarn passageway in an interlacing jet.
  • interlacing of multifilamentary yarns was first taught by Bunting and Nelson, e.g., in U.S. Patents No. 2,985,995 and 3,115,691. Interlacing is now conventional for high speed spinning processes. It is desirable to improve the efficiency of the apparatus 15 used for interlacing, commonly referred to as interlacing "jets".
  • the interlacing effect has generally in practice been achieved by directing streams of high velocity fluid against a planar surface, thereby forming 20 contiguous fluid vortices, and passing a yarn axially between the streams and parallel to the planar surface, as disclosed by Bunting and Nelson. Essentially the same technique is still used today.
  • both the wall member and the striker surface are convexly curved.
  • a plurality of yarn passageways may be provided between
  • adjacent jet members with wall members that are convexly curved on one side to provide a striker surface and on another side that contains at least one said conduit or jet .
  • a preferred improved stacked interlacing jet assembly comprises a plurality of jet members with walls that are assembled to provide a plurality of yarn passageways between walls of adjacent jet members, said walls containing fluid conduits each adapted to project a stream of pressurized fluid against the opposing wall of the adjacent jet member located on the other side of said yarn passageway, the improvement being characterized in that said yarn passageways are outwardly flared at least downstream from the location of said conduits, and preferably both upstream and downstream. Preferably these walls are curved to provide the outward flaring of the yarn passageways.
  • a stacked interlacing jet assembly comprises a plurality of jet members, with walls, that are assembled to provide a plurality of yarn passageways between walls of adjacent jet members, said jet members being essentially oval in cross-section and containing fluid conduits located on one side of said yarn passageways, and adapted to project streams of pressurized fluid against the opposing wall of the adjacent jet member located on the other side of said yarn passageways.
  • the jet members are secured by clamps that have surfaces that are convexly curved at least in the vicinity of the yarn passageways to assist in smooth movement of the fluids away from the yarn passages and to minimize build up of deposits, e.g. of finish, on these clamps in the vicinity of the yarn passageways.
  • Figure 1 shows a plan view of a preferred interlacing jet assembly of this invention.
  • Figure 2 shows an elevation view, partially in section, of the assembly of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 shows a view of the assembly of Figure 2, taken along the line 3-3', and shows the assembly mounted within an enclosure, and with a yarn passing therethrough.
  • a preferred jet assembly comprises a series of jet members 11 with wall members 12 that have an essentially oval cross sectional configuration, as can be seen most clearly in Figure 1, on rectangular bases 13, the rectangular bases 13 being of widths (W) greater than the minor axes (M) of the oval-shaped wall members 12, so as to provide yarn passageways 14 between adjacent wall members 12.
  • Five such members 11 are shown assembled so as to provide four yarn passageways 14 between pairs of adjacent wall members 12.
  • the members 11 are secured together by longitudinal bolts 15 in retaining members 16 which may house the ends of rails 18 and may be located on a manifold body 17 by pins 26, while clamps 24 secure the bases 13 to the body 17, and are themselves secured by screws 25.
  • Such a yarn passageway 14 is defined by a wall member containing two vertically-spaced, inclined and opposed conduits or jets 19, for pressurized fluid, whereas the other side of the yarn passageway acts as a striker surface 20 for the fluid projected through such jets.
  • the jets 19 communicate with hollow passageways 21 within the jet members 11 and bases 13, and in turn with an opening 22 that communicates in turn with a fluid inlet 23 connected to a source of supply (not shown).
  • a yarn 35 is shown passing through an assembly from a source of supply (not shown), that could be an extrusion orifice in the case of a spinning machine.
  • This jet assembly is shown surrounded by an optional enclosure 31, provided with a yarn inlet 32 and a yarn outlet 33, and with a fluid outlet drain 34 to separate excess fluids from the emerging yarn and exhaust them separately.
  • curved surfaces are preferably provided upstream and downstream for the clamps 24, so as to guide fluids smoothly away from the vicinity of the yarn passageways 14.
  • the prior jet assemblies already referred to comprise a series of rectangular jet members with wall members on bases of widths greater than the widths of the wall members, so as to provide parallel-sided spaces therebetween to act as yarn passageways, one side of such members acting as a striker plate, while the other contains the fluid jets.
  • the radius of curvature is about 1 inch for each curve on either side of these "narrows", whereas the surfaces flare outwardly more severely towards either end, so forming the preferred oval shape .
  • FIG 1 as compared with those prior (RECT) jets are shown in Table 1, giving interlace levels (as RPC) averaged over the number of measurements (given as N) , and the standard deviations (given as SD).
  • RPC interlace levels
  • N number of measurements
  • SD standard deviations
  • This test compared the interlace obtained for 3 polyester yarns (indicated conventionally by total denier-number of filaments) spun at speeds of about 4000 mpm under essentially identical comparative conditions except for the difference in interlacing jets, operated at the indicated air pressures (in psig).
  • the oval jets of the invention gave consistently better interlace, as indicated by lower RPC and SD values.
  • the lower spread of values shows better uniformity of interlace. This is particularly important, as defects in downstream processing of the yarns can result from even an occasional high RPC value, indicating a greater length between the interlacing nodes.
  • This importance of uniform interlace can be seen in Table 2, showing interlace measurements on yarns spun on 3 spinning machines using essentially similar conditions except for the interlace jets, conventional (RECT) jets being used on two machines in comparison with jets of the invention (OVAL) .
  • Table 3 shows that satisfactory interlace can be achieved with less air pressure using the oval jets. This can provide an important saving.
  • a reduction of about 10% in the air pressure while improving the interlace level indicates a significant and unexpected improvement in efficiency.
  • Further advantages have also been found in practice, including easier yarn string-up and easier maintenance, such as easier access for cleaning the yarn passageways to remove deposits, e.g. of finishes that tend to build-up in and around the jet assembly, such as are mentioned by Harris. These deposits can depend significantly on the particular materials and compositions used, and a reduction in such deposits is of importance in practical operation. Significantly less deposits have been noted when using the oval jets, in contrast with the rectangular jets. This means that the above comparisons understate the practical advantages of using the oval jets, since both types were cleaned after operating for similar periods.
